# Arrest Procedures

**Step 1: Cause**

When initially placing them in handcuffs, say:

`You are under arrest for [REASON].` 

**Step 2: Police Caution**

Tell them the following:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence. 
```

{% endcode %}

**Step 3: Search**

```
You will now be searched under PACE: Section 32.
```

The legislation used to search may be different, depending on the arrest cause.

Ensure you are wearing the correct equipment for a search (e.g gloves)

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
Is there anything that may stick, stab or poke me in my search? If so, please identify them for me.
```

{% endcode %}

If they say yes, search for them first with caution. Place them in evidence bags after you have removed them.

Continue with the search, and remove any items that may assist in escape or cause harm. Place the items in evidence bags.

If they have firearms:

* Identify the firearm.
* Remove it from their person.
* Request an armed officer if necessary.
* Place the firearm in a secure case as evidence.

Secure all confiscated items in your car after placing in bags.

**Section 3: Transport**

Call in for a PTV via radio. And wait.

When the PTV arrives:

Hand over the suspect to the PTV Officer

Tell them:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
This vehicle has been searched prior to your arrest. Anything found in it afterwards will be deemed as yours. 
```

{% endcode %}

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
This vehicle is also fitted with Audio and Video recording so anything you do or say may be used against you and will be captured. 
```

{% endcode %}

**In the event that no PTV arrives, you can walk over to the Police Station (given that you are close to the base) and ask for an LPU to transport them.**
